International Private Household Staffing

The world of private household staffing is relatively small and news travels fast. Word of mouth has been my best promoter. I have worked with some of the best known people in private service and yachting and have a global network of clients, staff and colleagues to bring the best jobs to the market and attract the best staff and crews. In the last 7 years over 90% of new household jobs registered have been by word of mouth recommendation and satisfied returning clients. Domestic Bliss has placed domestic couples and household staff in some of the best positions on the market. 100% of my clients are very satisfied and feel the UK fees of 14% are very good value. There is also the Guarantee of knowing the Full Fee is not invoiced until a successful 8 week probation period has been completed. There is also NO VAT.

Client Kent 2016 June

Dear Clare,We have today engaged a new Housekeeper so you can stand down your search. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic efforts to get us sorted and Julia was a godsend in December and January. Sadly, as she could not return to us we had to find someone else urgently and a suitable lady came. We have a probationary period to go through but hopefully all will be well and I will not need your services for the time being. Should anyone I know ask about a Housekeeper Agency I would have no hesitation in recommending you and Domestic Bliss.

Corona Virus and New Applications

Domestic Bliss Appointments wish everyone good health

I wish I could help the huge number of potential candidates that are currently contacting us via the website, however, in truth, only those who have worked in private households as a career for 18 months or more can be considered for the level of posts that we advertise. If you do have that level of experience we do have opportunities available, please apply here.

We are very sorry to have to ask, but if you do not have this experience please do not apply through the website. Thank you, and we wish you all the best in these difficult times.
